The Olympic Channel is now available in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish, in addition to English. The launch of the additional languages represents the first non-English languages to be added to the platform. Starting Wednesday, fans have the option to experience the current version of the Olympic Channel in one of seven languages. In addition to the multi-language user interface, viewers can continue to watch original programming with subtitles in one of 10 languages, which has been an available feature since the channel launched in August. Olympic Channel GM Mark Parkman said, "Language and localization features are a high priority for us in 2017. The availability of six additional languages on the global digital platform is a significant step in the Olympic Channel’s evolution as we look to create more personalized user experiences for Olympic fans around the world." The Olympic Channel plans to release four additional languages in the coming months including Arabic, Japanese, Korean and Russian versions. In addition to creating a multi-language platform, the Olympic Channel is working with broadcast partners and National Olympic Committees to develop localized versions of the Olympic Channel (Olympic Channel).
